Digitalising urban mobility for cleaner, smarter and more inclusive cities
Through ACCESS, Argentina is advancing practical digital solutions that support low-carbon mobility, more efficient urban logistics and evidence-based transport planning. The project focuses on Buenos Aires, where new tools for freight routing, smart loading and unloading areas, and mobility data dashboards are being developed and tested with local and national partners.
A highly urbanised country accelerating clean mobility
Argentina has identified sustainable, low-carbon mobility as a key part of its climate and urban development agenda. Transport is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and decarbonising the sector is an important national priority. In this context, ACCESS supports innovative digital solutions that address inefficient urban logistics, fragmented mobility data, and the limited use of digital technologies in transport planning and operations. The work in Argentina is aligned with the country's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), its commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and local policy frameworks such as Buenos Aires' Climate Action Plan 2050 and Sustainable Mobility Plan 2030.
Using digitalisation to improve how people and goods move
ACCESS in Argentina is focused on using digitalisation to improve how people and goods move through cities. The national project combines pilot implementation, capacity strengthening, policy support, and regional knowledge exchange. Through this approach, ACCESS is helping generate evidence, test practical tools, and build the institutional and technical foundations needed to support more efficient, inclusive, and lower-emission urban mobility.
Developing, testing, and assessing digital solutions in Buenos Aires to improve urban logistics and strengthen evidence-based transport planning.
Working with public authorities, private logistics operators, academia and civil society to strengthen local technical and institutional capacity.
Generating data, methodologies and operational insights that can inform future transport regulations, incentives and planning processes.
Supporting scale-up within Buenos Aires and replication in other Argentine cities while contributing lessons to the ACCESS regional network.

Where Argentina stands today
ACCESS Argentina includes a gender-responsive Digitalisation Readiness Assessment of the transport sector to establish the country baseline for digital mobility, identify priority gaps and guide the action plan for digitalisation of transport. The assessment is intended to inform pilot design in Buenos Aires, national policy dialogue and capacity-building activities.
Emerging foundation
From DRA findings to policy implementation
DRA findings and pilot learning will feed into national policy co-development for sustainable urban mobility planning, evidence-based public policy and inclusive digitalisation. Working groups and capacity-building activities will bring together national and sub-national institutions, public-sector actors, private-sector operators, academia and civil society to validate priorities, co-develop gender-responsive and inclusive solutions, and assess scale-up potential.

Where ACCESS works in Argentina
Buenos Aires is the main implementation city for ACCESS in Argentina. The initiative aims to accelerate the digitalisation of urban mobility through three complementary pilots. Explore the city to see all projects in detail.
Active pilots
Buenos Aires
Digital pilots for urban freight, smart loading zones and mobility data — improving logistics efficiency, reducing GHG emissions and strengthening evidence-based transport policy.
Moving from definition to implementation
Important foundations for implementation are already in place. Functionalities have been advanced for both the dynamic routing tool and the blue-box reservation tool, including GPS integration and traffic-data features. Hospital Italiano has been confirmed as the first deployment zone for the smart loading pilot, with Express Logística confirmed as the main implementation partner.

How ACCESS creates change in Argentina
ACCESS creates change by linking readiness assessment, stakeholder co-development, practical pilots and policy recommendations. The pathway begins with a gender-responsive DRA, moves through working groups and pilot design, tests digital solutions for freight, curb management and mobility data, and translates learning into policy frameworks, financing options and scale-up strategies.
